Game breaking bug

I enjoyed the game well enough for a time - it had nice atmosphere and seemed engaging enough on the story front. Unfortunately, about 10h in I happened across a game breaking bug in the main story, and the game uses a single overriding autosave with no manual saving allowed. I've searched online and it seems the bug (failure to loot a body in the "Rat in the Hospital" quest) has been around SINCE LANUCH and the only "solution" given was to restart the game from the beginning. I liked the game, but not enough to replay TEN HOURS OF IT. So overall - I can't recommend this game on the basis of me not being able to continue or finish it.

A little bit of good, a lot of bland

For the most part I liked the main storyline and mystery of Vampyr. I enjoyed the references to "oldschool" vampires (like needing invitation to enter someone's home), protagonist's voice and setting (at least on conceptual level). Unfortunately the good parts are rather rare and far between. For the most part you will be doing rather uninteresting side quests and gathering information about mostly boring characters. Which are useful only if you want to ruin the "perfect" ending. Endings themself are "meh" at best as they hinge on forced and rather unnatural love story. Fighting system can bring some joy when you finally get a hang of the combat rythm and perform your dance flawlessly. Unfortunately it is rather repetitive and character progression system doesn't help with that. There is only a handful of skills, their upgrade cost increases exponentially while their effects are boosted in linear fasion. This means you will unlock all of your tools in first 15-20% of game time and will only slap insignificant upgrades onto them later. I'm sure there is a lot of criticism about the main mechanic of the game - drinking NPC's blood to get stronger (because you can't get only a bit, you have to KILL your donor). I'll say it's definitely bad idea but it's possible to just roll with it. It didn't really bother me that much. All in all Vampyr is a game that you can give a shot if you like classic vampires. I don't regret playing and was quite invested but I wouldn't recommend buying it at full price.

Good idea not very well implemented

Most of the reviews here are on the mark. The game could have been awesome but felt short in some important mechanics. Some good things about the game: - The environment is relatively well done; - Story seems good. Not very original but can be a motivator to keep playing; - The character interaction is interesting, especially find ways to unveil their background; - Amoral gameplay; interesting outcomes depending on how you play. Things that fell short expectations: - Savegames are saved automatically, which means that when making a mistake you have to either manually backup the save game (by that I mean copying the savegame manually to another file) or start it again. This for me is a MAJOR dealbreaker. Not by itself but because of the way the hint/miss dialogue element was implemented. - The comparison with LA Noire in some comments is spot-on: the dialogues to discover or miss a hint are not logical or rational; sometimes you think that selecting a certain answer will send you thorough one direction but what the character says is completely different. Random hit/misses with a automatic savegame system? Horrible combination. - Combat is meh. Very simple and the skills are not very cool. If the other parts of the game were great, this could have been overlooked (in my opinion). - Treating diseases is cheap and mostly doesn't really affect the NPCs responses. Combination between characters and environment feels shallow. Gets repetitive very soon. I will not continue playing the game because I just lost 7 hours of gameplay half an hour ago because of a lost hint that didn't really make sense (and I forgot to backup the savegame). For those thinking in getting it, the game could be interesting for the first 5 to 10 hours but do not expect much after that. Also, comparing to the available titles in the market, this game should cost $15 maximum.

It could have been an ok adventure game

but somewhere during the development someone decided to put tedious and annoying combat into the game + enemies respawning if you die or rest to level up (yes you can't level up unless you rest). Story is ok-ish but gets dumber by the end of the game, but that would have been fine if it wasn't for the combat, because the tedium of it destroys all the interest you could possibly have in the story as you go. Also, you can talk to people in the streets and find out secrets, but it serves nothing to get you more XP. Most of it is completely pointless fluff and the stuff that is more interesting is very disconnected from everything else you do in the game, so in the end you also do that not to "solve" some side mystery, but to get more XP by sitting through the dialogue. If you do all the sidequests and whatnot, the game is like 25 to 30 hours (if you don't die and repeat much), but like 75% of it is not the story but running around the streets and fighting the same fights over and over. It seems like the whole combat mechanic and RPG elements (the RPG elements are only combat oriented, there are no non-combat stats like stealth or speech or something) had been simply slapped onto an adventure game in development and the game had been remade into something duller than it could have been. Do you want an RPG with Vampires? There's VtM: Bloodlines. Do you want an adventure game with RPG elements or mystery solving? There's The Council or Sherlock Holmes games, Hero-U if you want something funny. Do you want to play something like dark souls with enemies respawning and whatnot, all combat? Yeah there's plenty of titles fitting the bill. Do you want to play some tedious mess of all of the above combined? Then buy this game.

Du potentiel mais ...

Je commencerai par dire que c'est un très bon jeu. L'ambiance est sombre, la musique est soignée et l'histoire nous rapproche assez bien du personnage que l'on incarne avec beaucoup d'interactions avec les personnages du jeu. Trop peut être, cela en devient lassant de devoir parler à tout le monde et de répéter les mêmes questions à chacun... Mais il faut en passer par là pour obtenir des renseignements qui nous dirigeront vers des quêtes secondaires. J'ai pour l'instant joué une dizaine d'heures et je suis loin encore de la fin du jeu je pense car je n'ai exploré que deux quartiers vraiment à fond... La jouabilité est simple et efficace. La personnalisation du personnage au niveau des pouvoirs me semble intéressante, chacun peut se créer son style de vampire. Un bon jeu donc mais c'est dommage que la ville soit un peu trop déserte... on voudrait un peu plus de vie dans les rues ... Gros potentiel donc ce jeu mais avec quelques petits défauts qui n'en font pas le jeu parfait.
